Jan Tegze

Jan Tegze is a globally recognized expert in recruitment and talent acquisition. With over two decades of hands-on experience, he has built and led high-performing talent acquisition teams across EMEA, AMER, and APAC regions.

His journey began in 2004 at a recruitment agency, where he developed the foundational skills that would eventually make him one of the most respected voices in the industry. Today, as Director of Talent Acquisition, he designs recruiting systems and workflows - not just filling roles, but working with leaders to define hiring plans, build pipelines, improve interview quality, and create clear playbooks for recruiting teams.

Jan is the bestselling author of ten books, including Full Stack Recruiter, Job Search Guide, and How to Talk to AI. With over 1,000 published articles and a reputation for translating complex talent acquisition concepts into actionable strategies, he has become a go-to resource for both recruiters and job seekers worldwide.

His approach is grounded in practical, data-driven guidance rather than theory. Whether he's writing about AI in hiring, modern sourcing techniques, or helping job seekers navigate the market, his focus is always on what actually works.

Beyond his corporate leadership, Jan advises HR tech companies on product development — from user research and roadmap prioritization to UX optimization and go-to-market strategy. His firsthand experience as both a practitioner and a buyer of recruiting tools gives him a unique perspective that helps product teams build solutions recruiters actually want to use.
